Quinn is 10 months old!

10 months today! It seems like I was just writing your 9 month blog post....And now we're one month older again.
It has been a very busy month for you little munchkin. You have grown and learned a lot! Your world is expanding. You are on the go every wake moment. And you keep me on the go as well :-)

Playing Peekaboo is one of your favorite games....

and pulling yourself up to standing is one of your latest achievements.....

"Seriously mom, how many more pictures are you going to take?"

I could take pictures of you all day long! Unfortunately, you are more interested in the camera itself (that is, grabbing it with your little paws and putting it in your mouth) and are not very fond of looking at it anymore when I try to take a picture. So it takes lots of silly faces, singing and other tricks to get you to look right at it.

Fun facts about being 10 months old:

* you say 'mama' and 'dada'

* you can babble, babble and babble a whole story together

* when we sing to you or when you hear music, you rock you body from left to right and back

* you look at the computer when you hear an email coming in

* you put your hands in the air when we say 'how big is Quinn' (in Dutch)

* your schedule looks about like this:

7am: wakeup time and breakfast (milk)

8.30am: bath

9am-10.30am: nap

10.45am: fruit

12.15pm: lunch (milk, cereal, bread)

1.30-3.30pm: nap

4.45pm: dinner (vegetables, potatoes/rice/pasta and sometimes also meat + yoghurt as dessert)

7pm: milk with cereal

7.15pm: bed time

* You have ONE tooth: your left middle tooth on the bottom came through on November 20

* I can see the start of your SECOND tooth coming through as well (right middle tooth on the bottom). That might be the reason why you have been waking up a few times at night in the past few days :-(.

* you are still army crawling. You know how to sit on your hand and knees, but as soon as you're moving forward, you slide to your belly. And as fast as you go this way, I don't think you feel the need to change that.

* you are pulling yourself up to standing. A major achievement, which makes us having to watch you even more though......you like to stand, but you forget to hold on sometimes. Luckily we have carpet in the living room....
* we put your crib mattress down to the lowest level on the 25th of November. I found you standing in your crib one day later. Like you were waiting for it!

* you love playing catch with your football.

* you're very interested in non-toys
* your little fingers find every tiny tine little crumb or fussball there is on the floor. You make mommy vacuum every day.

* you love it when we chase you on the floor. You stop moving and start to giggle when we almost got you.

I can go on an on about all the funny things that you do. You're such an entertainer. You know what you want already and don't hesitate to let us know it.
We love you little munchkin.
